I'm glad you responded, I have a question - you said it takes 6 months for the stomach to heal fully. Does that mean a leak can happen in the time from your surgery through to 6 months? For some reason I'm having "leak dreams" and get worried. Any insight will be appreciated. Pam

So happy you posted! I've heard so many people don't maintain their loss - I'm determined and now so inspired by you. Thank you!

Best of luck and take care! Post when you can so we can hear how it went.

Second opinion? Good luck to you, you're your own best advocate.

Thanks OzRoo, I appreciate that...and glad to hear it's calmed down. Looking forward to being 8 months past surgery...hope all is going well with you. Pam

All good thoughts to you for an easy surgery and quick, successful recovery.

What, exactly, is the difference between vomiting and dumping?

Wow! You really do look amazing, congratulations. Now you just need to learn to see your accomplishment, because it really is, all for you!

PPI?

Just read your post, how are you feeling today?

My surgery is tentatively scheduled for November 22, pending insurance approval. Looks like I'm furthest out but I'd love a group too!

I just had my first, of 3 required, dietician meetings and expect that my surgery will be sometime in October.
